Arduino powered singing table

This musical Lazy Susan, or “Crazy Adam” was brought to us by students from MIT. It basically plays [Soul II Soul]’s “Back to Life” as it turns. In their words: “Through the interaction with the Singing Lazy Susan, we found the eating patterns and behaviors unique to each person, which reflect our personalities and interests. The dining experience expands to a new domain.” Are we the only ones who think this is silly? Not only is an Arduino overkill for this, how does this help reflect our personalities and interests? We know, someone will say that art doesn’t need to make sense, but this would just get annoying really fast. Good job coming up with an idea and making it happen. Please don’t bring that to our next office party. It is also worth noting that musical Lazy Susans aren’t exactly a new idea.

You know it’s MIT stuff when it’s a yawner of an idea, simple to implement, and wrapped in a pretentious wrapper of high brow bullshit. Sad when even the top uni’s have to lower their standards so much in order to let even some of the “let no moron behind” publicly educated dolts get in.

I really like the pseudo-intellectual bullshit they had to tag on to get a govt grant to do this. I guess this counts as social engineering hacking ;P

On the other hand they are losers for not being able to explain themselves without polysyllabic bullshit. I think maybe it’s time for me to harass these chimps and their entire department heads until someone else pulls the plug on these bullshit artists.
/jus sayin…
